Unzip Files in a Date Range

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to use the Zip.MinDate and Zip.MaxDate properties to unzip only those files with a last-modified date within a date range.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.0.0 or greater.

Local $bSuccess = False

; This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$oZip = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Zip")

$bSuccess = $oZip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/sample.zip")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oZip.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; The MinDate and MaxDate properties use the timestamp date/time string format.
; Here are some examples:
; YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., 2024-07-31)
; YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS�HH:MM (e.g., 2024-07-31T12:34:56+02:00)
; 2024-07-31T12:34:56Z (the "Z" denotes Zulu time, or UTC)

; Only unzip files having a last-modified date greater than 1-Jan-2017
$oZip.MinDate = "2017-01-01T00:00:00Z"

; Also, only unzip files having a last-modified date less than the end of 2020
$oZip.MaxDate = "2020-12-31T23:59:59Z"

; You don't need to specify both MinDate and MaxDate.
; You can specify only one or the other if needed.

; The MinDate/MaxDate properties apply to all of the Chilkat methods for unzipping.
